Cotognata Leccese In Lecce

Stopped here for a spritz and liked it so much stayed for a while. The bartender was lovely and the staff all so nice. The pastries looked absolutely amazing.

Hospitality... I visited this place for a quick lunch and first of all I enjoyed the extraordinary Salento hospitality and then the excellent quality of the food. Kudos to the owners who told us how they've run the place with passion for years. Delicious pastries, I highly recommend it to everyone... Thank you for everything.

This is definitely where the locals are going. It was packed when we arrived and smelled divine! They also have tall glasses of fresh squeezed OJ which was a massive plus for me.

I wanted to thank Mrs. Barbara and her family for the excellent tasting of their culinary and pastry products and for the excellent famous RUSTICO (the best in Lecce)

I've been frequenting the famous Lecce café "Cotognata" for several years now. A true haven of flavor, where sweet and savory coexist in perfect harmony. This "pastry art laboratory" is the ideal place for those who love to start the day with a delicious breakfast or indulge in a savory break bursting with flavor. The sweet treats are irresistible: fragrant croissants, pasticciotti with crumbly shortcrust pastry and creamy fillings, artisanal cakes, and so much more, crafted down to the smallest detail. Every bite speaks of a passion for tradition and attention to the quality of the ingredients. On the savory front, it's impossible to resist the classics, like the rustico leccese, calzones, and so much more. The puff pastry is light and crispy, the fillings are flavorful and never boring. Ideal for a quick lunch or a tasty snack. All thanks to the now longtime "host"... Maestro Oronzo; I admire him for his unwavering dedication to his work. The staff is courteous, smiling, and quick with service. The atmosphere is welcoming and clean, with an inviting aroma that accompanies you as soon as you walk in the door, all accompanied by the smiles of the owner's two wonderful daughters and the master pastry chefs.

Wonderful experience! Barbara is wonderful.

We were delighted by the wonderful Italian atmosphere. The breakfast was delicious, and we were able to sample typical Lecce delicacies. The lady who served us was extremely friendly and hospitable. We felt completely at home and can highly recommend this place! 🇮🇹✨

Super delicious breakfast with local delicacies at fair prices. Great service 👌
